The Season 3 premiere of Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim last Thursday night at midnight was #1 in its timeslot among adults 18-24 and helped Adult Swim achieve the #1 ad-supported cable network among key young adult demos on Thursday night, according to data from Nielsen Media Research.

Their dedication to their personal lives is relentless, interrupted only by the occasional need to treat sick children. In Season 3, which premieres Thursdays at midnight (ET/PT), series creator and star Rob Corddry is again joined by a cast of comedic geniuses, including Malin Akerman (The Romantics, Wanderlust), Lake Bell (How to Make It in America, No Strings Attached), Erinn Hayes (Parenthood, Worst Week), Rob Huebel (I Love You, Man; Human Giant), Ken Marino (Party Down, Wanderlust), Megan Mullally (Will & Grace, Party Down) and Henry Winkler (Arrested Development, Happy Days).

The show’s creative team is led by Corddry and fellow executive producers/writers Jonathan Stern (The Ten; NTSF:SD:SUV) and David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer, Wanderlust, Superjail). Childrens Hospital is produced by Abominable Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros. Television.
